Guinness Beef Stew

Guinness Beef Stew, adapted from Cooking Light. If using the slow-cooker, brown meat on the stove-top first. Guinness is not technically a gluten free beer, so if you're following a strict gluten free diet, you will need to substitute a dark, gluten free beer.

  • 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups Guinness Stout
  • 1 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Heat an 2 additional tablespoons of olive oil to Dutch oven. Working in batches, brown beef 6-7 pieces at a time. Do not crowd the beef or it won't brown. Transfer browned beef to a separate dish with the onions.

  • Simmer uncovered, for another 1 hour, or until meat and vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in mustard and peas the last 10 minutes of cooking
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
